There are very few professional gamers in my opinion. To be a pro gamer I think would imply that you make a living off being very good at video games. There are a few people such a Fatality who make more money then most people just from competing across the globe in tournaments.

If you include all pro gamers from all the communities such is the Fighting Game, CoD, Halo, Starcraft, Warcraft, etc... I wanna say there's at least 100+ Professional Gamers actually making a living off of gaming.
Yay or Nay? This topic has probably come up hundreds of times before, but i would really like to know your opinion the whole "Professional Gaming" scene. I've seen a lot of hate towards Pro Gaming on a few forums throughout different gaming sites primarily on Major League Gaming (MLG). I've wondered is all the hate because of how some people represent MLG as some kind of Elitist Gaming Society or is all the the hate because some believe Pro Gaming shouldn't be part of the Gaming Community. Some even say that there is no such thing as a "Professional Gamer" because that would imply that gaming is a Profession which to some seems impossible. Others believe Pro Gaming is good for the Gaming Community, mentioning that it brings exposure to our community as a whole hopefully making it more mainstream. This would then break that idea the people outside of our community have of gaming being a waste of time. Some have high hopes that competitive gaming in the US, Canada & UK can reach the level that Starcraft has in Korea where the top tier players are pulling in $60k+ a year off of Starcraft Competitions and Sponsorships. Starcraft is so mainstream in Korea that it gets broadcast on TV on a regular bases which IMO is mind-blowing. So, do you think the growing Pro Gaming scene is a joke? Or Is it something that can be beneficial to our community & its developers?
I haven't bought it yet because I'm salty Capcom hasn't decided to give a HD remake to Resident Evil 2. Which IMO is the greatest Resident evil of the Series. GET ON IT CAPCOM!!
